Lyrics: Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Meat Loaf

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

And some days it don't come easy
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
And these are the days that never end

And some nights you're breathing fire
And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm crazy
But it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me
No one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true
You'd better believe it

That I would do anything for love
And I'll be there 'til the final act
I would do anything for love
And I'll take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
Repeat

Some days I pray for silence
And some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll

Maybe I'm lonely
That's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only
The one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true
You better believe it

That I would do anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long

And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that, no no no I won't do that

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
Repeat 3x

But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way

And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that

Lorraine
Will you raise me up
Will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

I can do that, I can do that

Lorraine
Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life?
I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old?

I can do that, oh oh, now I can do that

Lorraine
Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

I can do that, oh oh now, I can do that

Lorraine
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?

I can do that, oh oh now, I can do that

Lorraine
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

I won't do that, no I won't do that

Lorraine
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around

I won't do that, no I won't do that

Anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
